4/5 Great Video & Sound quality
  by Matteo Rota (Bergamo, Italy)
I think that Video Quality and Music Quality are excellent, no doubt! Restoration works are made by really professional people.
Package is containing 4 discs with bonus iron plate with 3D woodstock image. It's something that I didn't like since I want product quality rather that box quality. It's funny to see the external BOX Set like an Hippie Jacket Generation, even my opinion is better to avoid it.

Inside the box there are a few reproduction of memorabilia, not really nice from my point of view.

At the end, my opinion is very positive, I suggest to purchase it, not to forget the great event took 40 years ago but still alive in our generation.

5/5 I purchased this DVD set for the CCR clips
  by swamper
They finely included CCR in this package,but they did not cut them into movie.They are on an extra disc entitled Woodstock:Untold Stories.This disc also includes some great never before seen performances by Santana,Canned Heat,Mountain,Johnny Winter and Paul Butterfield.No Blood Sweat And Tears.

For me it was worth buying this set for the Untold Stories Disc,although they did not bother using all the camera shots to make it wide-screen as the movie was done.

4/5 Blu-ray NOT NECESSARY!!!!
  by Daryl K. Smith (Monsey, NY United States)
Although I love the new footage as it is such a joy to see Janis Joplin and Credence and Mountain I must say that buying this 40th Anniversary edition on Blue Ray is a whopping waste of money. A film is only good as its original source and the 16mm film that Woodstock was shot on is so incredibly poor that enhancing on Blue Ray only magnifies the grain and the shoddy essence that previously was fairly unnoticed. So dear souls hoping to UPGRADE your visual anatomy of the Woodstockian world on display may lessen the blow to their mind and their wallet by simply staying with the 40th year anniversary set on regular and NOT Blu ray DVD. The film is what it is and if you havent seen it by now and your not under 30 then you should be ashamed of yourself. A great experience none the less but
repeat viewings will not be on your to do list for sometime to come. God bless us everyone and for pete sake dont take the brown acid.

5/5 Awesome Woodstock DVD
  by Ray H. Bartlett III (Fountain Valley, Ca)
About 3 hours of extra concert footage - CCR and extended Who made it all worthwhile. If you're a "Deadhead" you'll love their footage. Clever packaging. Well worth the $$$.

5/5 Woodstock 49th Anniversay Box Set
  by Allan J. Day (ontario canada)
I wasnt at Woodstock, but i sure knew what was happening in the music world---wanted to be there but could only follow it in the papers and TV---this boxset has to be the Ultimate viewing material available to us to date. the quality is way better than past releases (especially VHS)extended scenes with the crowd makes you closer to what your watching, you can feel the vibes--all the bonus material especially the bands that didnt get included in the original release kept me excited as i got to view some of my favourite groups in action with the times---all in all, if you want a step back in time to view what you missed not being there and if you were there, a trip to your past--BUT THIS GREAT COLLECTORS EDITION WOODSTOCK 3 DAYS OF PEACE AND MUSIC

Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music Director's Cut (40th Anniversary Two-Disc Special Edition) Summary 1969 was a year unlike any other. Man first set foot on the moon. The New York Mets won the World Series against all odds. And for three days in the rural town of Bethel, New York, half a million people experienced the single most defining moment of their generation; a concert unprecedented in scope and influence, a coming together of people from all walks of life with a single common goal: Peace

Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/09/2009

The three-day Woodstock music festival in 1969 was the pivotal event of the 1960s peace movement, and this landmark concert film is the definitive record of that milestone of rock & roll history. It's more than a chronicle of the hippie movement, however; this is a film of genuine historical and social importance, capturing the spirit of America in transition, when the Vietnam War was at its peak and antiwar protest was fully expressed through the liberating music of the time. With a brilliant crew at his disposal (including a young editor named Martin Scorsese), director Michael Wadleigh worked with over 300 hours of footage to create his original 225-minute director's cut, which was cut by 40 minutes for the film's release in 1970. Eight previously edited segments were restored in 1994, and the original director's cut of Woodstock is now the version most commonly available on videotape and DVD. The film deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Documentary, and it's still a stunning achievement. Abundant footage taken among the massive crowd ("half a million strong") expresses the human heart of the event, from skinny-dipping hippies to accidental overdoses, to unpredictable weather, midconcert childbirth, and the thoughtful (or just plain rambling) reflections of the festive participants. Then, of course, there is the music--a nonstop parade of rock & roll from the greatest performers of the period, including Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Canned Heat, The Who, Richie Havens, Joan Baez, Ten Years After, Sly & The Family Stone, Santana, and many more. Watching this ambitious film, as the saying goes, is the next best thing to being there--it's a time-travel journey to that once-in-a-lifetime event. --Jeff Shannon

Product Description
1969 was a year unlike any other. Man first set foot on the moon. The New York Mets won the World Series against all odds. And for three days in the rural town of Bethel, New York, half a million people experienced the single most defining moment of their generation; a concert unprecedented in scope and influence, a coming together of people from all walks of life with a single common goal: Peace and music. They called it Woodstock. One year later, a landmark Oscar®-winning documentary captured the essence of the music, the electricity of the performances, and the experience of those who lived it. Newly remastered, the film features legendary performances by 17 best selling artists. Bonus content includes: • NEW retrospective The Museum at Bethel Woods: The Story of the Sixties & Woodstock.
